To all you asses that come into the rotary, and are waiting to get into the circle, you know that WHOEVER is in the circle has the RIGHT OF WAY. Stop speeding into the circle trying to beat the car coming throught it. You’re the idiots that will cause an accident.

It is not a rotary, it’s a roundabout 😉 But I have to agree, I almost hit one guy today when he shot right out without yielding. And had another almost hit me, coming in, in the wrong lane and just shooting right across….dummies. Anyone know why yield signs are red and white??? ( If I am not mistaken, they used to be yellow with black writing…(like a flashing yellow light)…)You yield the right of way to the other vehicles, but if you cannot enter, you STOP and wait…kinda like a flashing red, except you don’t HAVE to stop if there are NO vehicles, just slow down and proceed. Also, you should try to enter in the proper lane, so you don’t have to change lanes while you’re in the circle…and yes, stop speeding in, and around the damn thing!!!!
When they converted the Rotary (Which I think only half the population knew how to use anyways) to a roundabout did they do anything to educate drivers how to use it?While it’s pretty straight forward, I can understand why some people get confused as they approach.
